JEWS IN RUSSIA.


Gus PROVINCES Oh tue Etnpire.
For number of years commission
has been engaged making inquiries in
regard to the number of Jews in Rus
sia, and especially as to their standing
rs landowners. 1t is the intention of
the Russian Government, rs soon as
the report is published, to enact sever
al measures relating to Hebrews. Some
of the figures have already been made
public, and the result forms an interest
ing study. In the sixteen governments
south and west of the Empire there are
1880, $50 Jews of both sexes out of n
population of 15,500,00S. This is liz
per cent of the whole population. In
Litliuania and White Russia the He
brews arc most numerous, and in Little
Russia there are very few There is
one to every five in Minsk, and in
Kharkov the ratio is one to every 25O.
The Jews settle principally in towns
and villages, rather than in large cities
that are under the direct control of the
government. In the village of Froki
92 per cent of the population are He
brews. There are in the above-mcn-
toned provinces 1877, 100000 acres of
land, and it is shown that they have
purchased !, 100000 acres from the no
bility since 1861, and rs tenant farmers
they hold 5,250,000 acres. 1t is
strange fact that they do not
cultivate the lands themselves. but sub
let them to the peasants of the villages.
In this way they act as middlemen,
and as a natural consequence their
profits have been very large. In a
number of places, if the reports are to
be relied upon, they have hired land at
one or two roublcs. and sublct it at five
and six roubles per acre. They have
obtained long leases of good agricul'
tural land in Bessarabia, which belongs
to foreign converts or religious sects,
and have sublet for twenty-five roubles
for three acres. In Podalia nearly all
the holdings belong to Jews, who spec.
ulatc constantly with the crops raised
by the farmer. The system of agricul-
ture under the supervision of these
new landowners is poor, because the
soil in many instances is exhausted by
the demands made upon it. Every
acre of ground is worked, o that the
farmer can raise sufficient money tc
live upon and pay the rent asked by
his landlord. This has deprecated the
value of the land at least 80 per cent
within the last decade. The Jews are
great spectators, and they are extend
ing their ownership in land Throughout
the whole Russian Empire. -Demoresr'

Plain Understanding Existing Between a
Conscientious Father and SON.
Close by railroad junction in Ala
bama, where we had to wait some time
for the other train, was general store,
and several of us went over to see how
business was done. The proprietor was
little old man with benevolent face,
and his clerk was his son. who was y
hawk-eyed, sharp-nosed young man
with no benevolence about him. The
customers were principally negroes,
and there was great run on some new
tin coffee pots just unpacked. The one
hung up for sample was marked
''twenty-fve" on the bottom. Every
time darky asked the old man for u
coffee pot he was referred to "William.
and every time William was asked for
calico he referred the customer to
father. We saw this go on until our
curiosity was aroused. and the Colonel
finally asked the old man for an cxpla-
nation.
"StrangerP" 9ueried the old man in
reply.
"Yes."
"Don't live about herep"
30, no; just waiting for the train"
swell, then, it's just this way: Will
lam has the conscience to ask forty
cents for a twenty-five cent coffee pot,
and rs he is leetle sot in his ways l
lot him tend to that line"
''But about the calico"

CHRONIC RHEUMATISM.
How a Case of Ten Years Standing Was
Cured I'm u Trice.

Cured I'm n Trice.
1t is acurious fact, to which we call
the attention of the medical fraternity
of this country, that chronic rheuma-
tism can be cured. The remedy is of
the most allopathc and heroic charac-
ter, consisting, as it does, of the out
ward application of two shot-guns and
mad dog, the whole "to be well
shaken before taken.'
The pathetic story of John Hen
dricks. of Warsaw, Ga, will be re-
garded rs demonstration of the theory
known as the mind cure, and this fact
makes the case still more exciting.
Hendricks had the rheumatism for ten
years-that is, he thought he had. He
was so impressed with this unfortunate
idea that his legs did their best to tie
themselves in bow knot and succeed
cd remarkably well. His arms were also
doubled up in the most remarkable
fashion-or at least that was the notion
he had about them.
One day, while sitting under live
oak tree, Il mad dog chanccd that way
and two men with guns in hot pursuit.
Suddenly shots were heard and the
live-oak was well peppered. All at
once Hendricks opinion about his
rheumatism was changed. He con-
cluded in Il trice that he didn't have
any, or,at any rate not enough to pre-
vent him from getting out of the way.
He jumped up, therefore, danced Il
war dance, yelled to the sportsmcn
and then made for home with the speed
of a dear gazelle. Since that moment
he has had no rheumatism.
However. there no use to call it q
miracle. The cure was effected by
cold lead and mad dog.-M. y

COMPOSITE GIRLS.

every day more popular. This year S
graduating class at Vassar gave me,
the other day, glance at what, per-
haps, it would be fair enough to take of
type of the educated girl of twenty
two or twenty-three. Every thing in
the composite tones down and fades
and blends until the resultant pictures
gives the average features of all who
have posed before the camera. The
combination of the Vassar faces gives
a new one that is softened us all COM
posites are, but in no way indistinct in
its outlines. 1t is like no one of the
graduates, and yet it represents thirty
seven. The senior face as brought out
by the sunlight is a somewhat regular
oval with straight nose, large eyes and
rounded, girlish features, little
thoughtful, but not over grave. The
forehead is rather high and the hair
soft and smoothly drawn back, little
tendril or two escaping about the brows.
